  • Page 5: The Chimney / Flue System

    1.2 The chimney / flue system Note that the flue system must be independently secured and must not rely on the stove for support. The stove must not be connected to a chimney flue serving any other appliance. (Several flues may run up a single chimney stack; use one flueway per appliance). Use a residential type masonry or listed type HT factory-built chimney. High Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-103-1985 (2100º...

  • Page 6: Flue Connection

    1.3 Flue Connection The stove is supplied from the factory with a flue collar fitted to the top plate and a round blanking plate blocking off the rear flue exit (behind the rear shield plate). The flue collar is from the factory prepared for fitting the enlosed 6 inche adapter. Use a 4 MSG black or blue chimney connector or listed double wall chimney connector. Refer to local codes and the chimney manufacturer’s instructions for precautions required for passing a chimney through a combustible wall or ceiling. Remember to secure the chimney connector with a minimum of three screws to the product and to each adjoining section. The collar can be fitted to the rear outlet. Simply knock out the round panel on the rear heat shield plate to reveal the cast iron plate. Untwist the blanking plate and the flue collar and swap their positions. Re-secure by pushing down and tighten the enclosed screws. Position the stove and connect to the flue system. Wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling, cutting or joining sections of chimney connector 1.4 Connection to the existing chimney A Chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. The chimney itself is the masonry or prefabricated structure that encloses the flue.

  • Page 8: Positioning The Stove

    1.5 Positioning the stove Distance to walls and lintel When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and national building regulations with regards to clearances. Whatever regulations apply to your area, do not in any case install the stove within 8 inches of combustible materials around the sides or 6 inches above the top of the stove. These distances may need to be increased if the materials are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decorative materials may become de- tached with the effects of heat and care should be taken to ensure that they do not fall towards the stove in such an event. When the stove is positioned near non-combustible materials, a gap of 4 inches or more is recommended for cleaning purposes and to ensure that heat circulates around the stove and out into the room.

This is your responsibility.

  • Page 10: Operation

    2.0 Operation 2.1 Before you start firing For Use with Solid Wood Fuel Only. Do Not Overfire, If Heater or Chimney Connec- Glows You Are Overfiring. Inspect and Clean Chimney Frequently. Under Certain Conditions of use creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Because of risk of smoke and flame spillage, operate only with door fully closed.

  • Page 11: Lighting And Loading Intervals

    In principle Your stove has two air supplies: Primary air is controlled by the upper air controler of the door. The air eventually washes at high speed down the back face of the door glass. This super-heated air helps with the combustion of volatile gases produced by the fire. Secondary air is supplied to the top of the fire through two rows of holes in the steel baffle. This effectively burns off other residual gases, making for very clean emissions. This air supply is constant and cannot be varied. The lower air controler on the door is fixed, and only for decoration purposes. 2.2 Lighting and loading intervals When first lighting the stove, a large volume of air is needed. When the stove is cold, you should leave the door open an inch or two for the first few minutes and open the primary air supply completely. While the door is open, do not leave the stove unattended. To form a reasonable bed of ash on the floor of the stove, you should use 5-6 inches thickness (-4 pound) of dry kindling at the initial lighting. Always maintain a -,5 inch (- cm) layer of ash on the floor of the combustion chamber at all other times. Step-by-step procedure . The air supply must be fully open. Maximum 4 turns. . Light the fire. An ember bed will quickly be formed by lighting with firelighters, morsø kindling bags or 7-0 pieces of twisted paper under the dry kindling wood (see above). . After lighting, partially close the door, leaving it open an inch or two to allow in plenty of combustion air. 4. When the chimney is warmed through after 5-0 minutes, the door should be closed. A suitable ember bed will be formed after a further 5-0 minutes. 5. When ready to reload, use a poker to spread the ember across the firebox floor, bringing plenty towards the front of the stove. 6. Lay three pieces of wood (see dimensions above) onto the embers. Leave half an inch ( cm) or more between each piece. Place the ends of your logs towards the opening, but not too close to the front.
  • Page 12 Do not for any reason attempt to increase the firing of your heater by altering the air control adjustment range outlined in these directions. Warning: Fireplace stoves must never be left unattended with doors open. If the door is left partly open, gas and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace stove opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke.

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    3.0 Maintenance When perfoming maintenance on your stove, always protect yourself, using safety goggles and gloves 3.1 Exterior Maintenance The stove surface is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. It is best kept clean by va- cuuming with a soft brush attachment or by wiping with a lint-free cloth. Over a period of time, the painted surface may become slightly grey. A can of Morsø touch-up spray paint should be available from your stove supplier. This can be applied - in accordance with the instructions - in just a few minutes. When first firing after touching up, the stove will give off a slight smell as the paint cures. Make sure to ventilate the room well during this phase. 3.2 Internal maintenance Glass If the stove is generally run at the correct temperatures, there should be little or no dirt on the glass. If dirt does settle during lighting, most will burn off as temperatures increase.For heavier deposits that will not burn off, use morsø glass cleaner, applied when the glass is cold, in ac- cordance with the instructions. Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass surface. Reasons for dirty glass · Fuel too wet ·...
  • Page 14 . Lift the door off its hinges an place face-down on a sheet of cardboards or other non- abrasieve fabric. . Unscrew the five bolts that secure the glass. (In the event that a bolt sheers off when being unscrewed, remove the remaining body of the bolt by drilling down its cnetre with /8 inch high speed steel drill bit. Smaller drill bits may be successful, but do not use a lager bit. Make sure the bit stays away from the edges of the bolt - this may damage the thread in the cast iron). . Remove the old ceramic gaskets and clean up the surface underneath with wire wool or emery paper to remove loose particles. 4. Place the new gasket material in position around the perimeter of the window area, making sure to pinch them to the length in such a way that they make a continuous seal. Leave no gaps. 5. Place the new glass in position on the strips and screw home the fresh bolts and fitting by hand. 6. Finally, give each of the bolts an extra half turn or so. The glass should held tight enough by that cleaning will not dislodge it. Do not over-tighten the bolts as this may put excessive pressure on the glass, resulting in cracking - important!

  • Page 15: Cleaning The Stove And The Flue 5

    To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the glass or slamming the door. Internal service parts The flame-path equipment - consisting of the ashpan, grate, firebricks, glass, baffle and flue collar - are subject to the extremes of heat produced by the fire. From time to time, one or other of these parts may need replacing as a matter of routine maintenance. NOTE: The flame-path equipment, the ceramic rope and the paint finish are not covered by guarantee. All of these service parts can be bought from your morsø dealer, and we recommend that da- maged parts are replaced as soon as possible to avoid collateral damage. The grate may be replaced by lifting it by its left hand edge and twisting it backwards. Dislocate the riddling arm from the grate by feel from beneath the floor of the firebox. If you find this dif- ficult for any reason, raising the rectangular grate surround casting may help.
  • Page 16 A good routine is to clean the flue after each heating season in any case, and inspect prior to the season to ensure that bird’s nests or other blockages have not ocurred during the off season. Ash disposal Empty the ashpan on a daily basis or as needed. Ash allowed to build up towards the underside of the grate will trap heat and could cause premature failure of the grate. Empty the ashpan according to this procedure: When the door is closed, the grate can be operated by means of the riddling bar. Open the front door, and use a shovel or poker to stir excess ash through the ash slots in the grate down into the ash pan. Remove the ash pan, making sure to keep it level. Dispose the ash in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally disperded, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Return the ash pan to its original position in the stove, and close. Caution: Never empty a stove in operation. Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always remove and dispose of the ash properly.

    If you do experience a chimney fire, act promptly and: Close the air control. Get everyone out of the house. Call the Fire Department. Annual maintenance Before the heating season, perform a thorough cleaning, inspection and repair: Thoroughly clean the chimney and chimney connector. Inspect the chimney for damage and deterioration. Replace weak sections of prefabricated chimney. Have a mason make repairs to a masonry chimney. Inspect the chimney connector and replace any damaged sections. Check gasketing for wear or compression, and replace if necessary. Check the glass for cracking; replace if needed. Check door and handles for tightness. Adjust if needed. 3.4 Leaving the stove for extended periods Important: If the stove is to be left unused for any period of time, clean it out thoroughly and leave the spinner slightly open to allow airflow. Make sure that the flue does not allow rainwater to come...
